Grant Co, KY I believe is where the BOB pull is next sat that Evan mentioned. Supposed to be a good pull with a few mod trucks coming down as well.

It's awesome to finally see a duramax getting into the mod class! I hope he does awesome!

I thought Kyle was all set on going mechanical injection....?
3 stock pumps? If so why not go.with 2 modded pumps? And is the truck that the sigma pump is on if.it is.mechanical injected?

Chris Watson is the only one in the USA that has one in the works to "public knowledge"


Where's the hook at next weekend Evan??

Grant county, Ky. If all goes well my truck will finally be ready (or where I wanted it at for this years season.... Little late lol but none the less) Just need a few more suitcase weights and should be competitive... Anyone care to lend me a few??
I hope Kyle will make this show I am excited to see this machine in person!

More than that. You would have a hard time prying my truck out of my fingers for that 100.

If you guys look real close to the front wheels on his first run you can see the real bad toe-in, thats what started his bad pass.

Some of us can have a great first run on a completly new truck but not everyone can pull that off.

I dont think any of "our" trucks or anybodys are comparible as far as running a new set up.

Yea I'm sure its something out of left field. I know max'd out tried a 3 stock cp3 and had leaking problems iirc and went to 2 wicked pumps

There was a few pullers running 3 cp3s successfully long before they tried it. Kyle was one of them. IIRC

I just so you know was only talking about staging the truck and steering not the pass. But IMO the pass wasn't that impressive im sure he himself wasn't impressed but the other run s
ure was

Great to see Kyle back on the track. I've seen this truck in person several times at his shop. He did a great job putting it all together. There is so much that goes into BUILDING one of these trucks. It does take so time to get everything thing worked out. It's not like a street truck. I know alot of people don't care for Kyle, but he has always treated me right. And he has forgotten more than most claim to know. GREAT JOB!!

I beleive crank it up has been working on that truck since 07 because I remember seeing some pictures on a website IIRC, I hope the trucks does good in the mod world be nice to see something different beside inline 6 builds, but as far as cheering for kyle on anything I cant do it I tried to do some business with him in 06 and learned really fast that he was NOT in it to help anybody which to me being a dick head doesnt bring you business and I have yet to see anything from crank it up win anything at top level nor turn any heads when ever he can take that truck and run with the schieds and haisley camps in mod class I might give him just a little respect

Wonder if he bought or built the whole chassis

Barker chassis is what I would guess but not sure. I'm very impressed with the first few hooks. Its not easy getting a truck at this level to make that good of a pass that soon.
